Perfect Pants from Me+Em

Palazzo pants and side stripe wide crop

Me+Em is a brand I have wanted to like for a while, but it’s never quite lived up to my expectations. Their strap line ‘Intelligent style, now + forever’ ticks all my boxes, and I want to love their pared down aesthetic, but the clothes have always been a little bit to ‘safe’ for me – until now.

On the hunt for a pair of go faster stripe formal trousers (yes they’re a ‘thing’) I came across their trouser range and was pleasantly surprised to find several pairs I loved – which never happens, even in COS.

They have a great range of casual and formal styles and lots of styles in between – which is great if you want to achieve that all important athleisure look.

I remember wearing these in the 90s. I swear designers/trend spotters are just sitting there ticking off everything they can remember about the 90s (or which ever decade they’ve decided is fashionable now) and giving a tiny twist to make it look like an original idea.
